We booked three rooms as a group of friends - when staff realized we were all together they were kind enough to coordinate so that our rooms were all on one floor which we really appreciated. We loved that we could order up from the bar to our rooms so that we could enjoy a drink from the terrace one room had. The rooms were clean and comfortable, staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the location was very convenient, just a few steps from the Elizabeth line from Heathrow and a short walk down to the Thames. Highly recommend and would book again if we ever return to London!

I would absolutely stay here again. The Farringdon Tube Station is less than 2 blocks away. The room had everything we needed. The price was very affordable compared to hotels in the area. The decor was eclectically delightful. The bathroom set up was excellent, and even the free snacks, water and chocolate daily were such nice touches. Coffee machine was nice to have, and we were thankful for the mini fridge. The first few days the in-room phone didnt seem to work, but we hopped downstairs to the pub and got food there.
These rooms are indeed above a local, often busy, pub that seemed to only play electropop/dance music without lyrics. If you're looking for a peaceful, quiet retreat after a busy day in the city, this is not it. I prepared with earplugs and slept fine until 9am, when folks started drilling into the walls next door.
Not great: I'm 5foot 2inches and the tub was a real hassle to get in and out of safely as the sides are so high, there is no grab handle,and half the tub side is closed off by glass. Did not love that.
While our bed linens smelled fresh and clean, there were stains (blood? Coffee?) On the coverlet. This being Europe, they do not provide top sheets. There was also a 2 inch triangle stain on the lamp shade, and various stains on the carpeting that made us want to keep our shoes on at all times. The main power outlet above my bed did not work. The pillows provided were far past their prime.
All in all, great value, if you bring earplugs.

Very friendly pub with rooms. Booked 3 rooms for a couple of nights. Rooms very nicely done although room 2 doesn’t get much natural light as the windows face into a sort of courtyard. Room 1 is great, didn’t get to see room 4 but told it was also really good and spacious. Lots of nice little touches and the lady who services the rooms is lovely. Farringdon station a couple of minutes walk away. We wanted to stay somewhere other than a big standard hotel and this fitted the bill nicely.

Check in was easy and despite three flights of stairs, I loved the room. I couldn't get the coffee machine to work but not a big issue.
How lovely to have a TV with the full range of channels!
I wish the pub was open in the morning as I'd have liked to store my luggage there.

Really close to a underground station, nice sized room especially for London. Will stay again. Fairly sleep and narrow stairs to rooms which may be a problem for some visitors.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to Farringdon station. They do give you complimentary snacks and water, but with each passing day it was less (first day 3 snacks, 2 waters, then 2 snacks, 2 waters, then 2 snacks, 1 water, the last day we weren't given water at all), which was strange. The room was lovely, but the heat did not seem to work through the HVAC, and the side heater was a bit wonky (it would be freezing and then we would wake up sweating). I would stay here again, but not in the winter.

It’s above a pub so it’s really convenient but it’s also above a pub so it’s pretty loud

Excellent location, 2 mins walk to Farrington station and access to tube and trains. Adorable and unique rooms with spacious bathroom and super comfortable bed. Appreciated the daily complimentary snacks, bottled water and fresh milk for tea. Staff were extremely kind, accommodating and pleasant. We were on the top floor so it was nice and quiet, but had to climb several flights of narrow stairs. We didn't mind it (gave us some much needed exercise), but if mobility is an issue, request a room on ground floor.

A gem right in central London! Beautiful and exceptionally quiet rooms with well stocked amenities and great service. Steps away from Farringdon tube station with great links to everywhere we needed to go. Absolutely will be staying again for our next trip!

A stones throw from Farringdon station, the one tun rooms are comfortable, beautifully decorated, with air con, safe, ironing board and iron and spotlessly clean. The snack tray was a welcome addition as was the chocolate and water in the fridge. Also robes and slippers. Unfortunately, the pub is closed on Sundays so food was unavailable, but there are other restaurants and bars close by. Check in and check out were quick and easy and the host was very helpful and polite.

Nice large room with lots of amenities.
Check in/out were very easy.
Good location at Farringdon station (lots of connections) and close to Holborn, Fleet Street and Saint Paul. The area is active in the morning weekdays but also very quiet at night.
Grey find!

LOVED the vibe and would stay again! Yes, there are steep stairs, no elevator/lift if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage and it’s noisy until the pub closes.
But it is also conveniently located - 3 minute walk from Farringdon station which means you can take the Elizabeth line to Heathrow airport and be there in 40 minutes. You can also easily take the tube to other touristy spots. Walking distance to St. John’s (a traditional British Michelin star restaurant).

We just stayed the one night on a stopover. Our flight from Sardinia arrived at Gatwick and our flight to Australia left from Heathrow.
Very convenient as it is only a 4 minute walk from Farringdon Station.
, which is on the Gatwick line and Elizabeth line to Heathrow.
The manager went out of her way to help us.

My stay at The One Tun Pub was wonderful. My room was very clean and a very nice sized room. It was very modern and nicely decorated.
It is literally across the street from the Farrington train station with underground and above ground train links. It is on several lines but is on the Circle line which is one of the main underground lines for Central London. There are also several cute pubs in the area, with a few blocks walk for food options.
My only negatives would be slightly noisy in the evening until the pub downstairs closes, but its not open super late and only noisy if people are outside drinking. And while the bathroom is super nice and very clean, the bathtub/shower is kind of high off the ground with no handrail to hold on to when getting out of the tub/shower, which was a bit scary.

Thought I’d switch up my regular stay and try this place out. Was so happily surprised at just how good (and good value) the stay was

The room I had in the One Tun Pub was specious and decorated with great taste. Immaculate condition, comfortable bed and great linen. One must note though that these rooms are located above a working pub, so that the place is rather noisy until 11-11.30pm. The music and laughter is clearly audibale upstairs.

This was a fantastic and unique little hotel, definitely not the chain hotel experience. Check-in was literally at the bar, and the rooms were just outside the bar and restaurant up a few flights of stairs. Once in the room you'd never know though, noise wasn't a concern, the room was modern and clean, and the furnishing were wonderful. It was more like a bed and breakfast setting then a hotel, enjoyed a discount on a meal and drink in a fun setting, and wish we were there more than just a night. Super thankful they were able to check us in just after noon too after a long overnight international flight and tube ride in from Heathrow. Super convenient to the tube station and a great point to start our time exploring London. Definitely would come back!

This was such a great find!! The pub is really nice with a great Pan Asian menu. The rooms are fabulous!! Super spacious, clean, tidy, comfortable, uniquely decorated…they haven’t missed a thing. Great position close to tube stations…or even a 30 minute walk into central London. Will definitely be back here.

The room was very clean and the bathroom spotless. The only issue was our room was above a very popular pub. It was quite noisy from 530pm to 11pm when the pub closed. Luckily, I don't hear well so it was not a big problem for me. But with the World Cup underway the patrons extended onto the sidewalk. The staff were friendly and helpful and assisted with our luggage as it was a 2-story walkup without an elevator. Best recommended for younger travelers.
